Capitalizing on the growing national and global online listenership, the website adds a new dimension to its current successful broadcast. The terrestrial coverage includes New England’s South Asian community and the Pacific Northwest’s major South Asian pockets: Tacoma, Seattle, and northwards to Canada.  In addition, JHANKAR enjoys a large online audience.

Producer and host, Nupur Kohli comments: "In addition to our radio audience, we enjoy an enormous global listenership thanks to the web.  Until now, listeners would have to log on at the specific broadcast time to enjoy JHANKAR Online. With our re-designed website, the live stream is still available Saturdays from 10:30am – 12noon EST, but we also offer flexibility to music lovers and added exposure to our sponsors. Our online listeners can enjoy JHANKAR when they want. No calculating time zones and adhering to the specific timings of the live stream. Listeners can log in and enjoy the show as much as they wish, and our sponsors will benefit with exposure throughout the week. In addition to this valuable feature, our re-designed website is a one-stop entertainment site for the South Asian community. We offer entertainment headlines, horoscopes, ringtones, videos, itunes downloads, and more. We launched the site in September, and have already seen more than a 50% increase in traffic .... just by word-of-mouth! We now look forward to the response with our official launch!

“We have partnered with Saavn and are a featured channel on their website as well. We are very excited about this launch and the service it will provide to the global community!”

“We would like to thank our sponsors and partners – Citibank, Rajbhog Foods, Dish Network, Lufthansa, Comcast, and Saavn for their support during our launch. We look forward to forging relationships with all the companies that are looking for national (and global) exposure”
